Local farmers constructed the Lena Road school on land donated by a Belgian settler. Farmers had a personal stake in this school because their tax dollars funded it and the school educated only the children of farmers in the immediate area.

Unlike typical one-room schools built after 1910, which were embellished using popular styles of the time, the Lena Road School is devoid of ornament and equipped with only the essential elements of a schoolhouse. A pyramidal wooden belfry that houses the school bell crowns the metal roof. A single door opens into a vestibule from the center of the short side of the building. Inside the vestibule are two side doors that open to gender-specific cloakrooms, and a door opposite the school entrance, which leads to the classroom. Along the north side of the building, a series of five windows allow only indirect light while providing excellent ventilation, a standard feature of schoolhouse design in this period.

Except for the electrification of the lighting, the interior is almost unchanged. School equipment such as cupboards and the blackboard convey a sense of the activity that had once taken place in the school.

The Lena Road School is privately owned, please respect the privacy of its owners.
